How UK Company Formation Works
GoFormed manages the entire formation process on your behalf. Here is exactly what happens, step by step:
Choose Your Company Name
We check your preferred name against the live Companies House register to confirm availability. Your name must be unique and must not contain restricted words without approval. We provide guidance and alternatives if your first choice is unavailable.
Complete Digital Identity Verification (KYC)
You complete identity verification through our secure online portal. You need a valid government-issued photo ID (passport or driving licence) and a recent proof of address (bank statement or utility bill dated within 3 months). Takes under 10 minutes and works for international ID documents.
GoFormed Prepares and Submits Your Filing
We prepare the IN01 formation application, Articles of Association, and Memorandum of Association. The application is filed electronically with Companies House. We simultaneously notify HMRC of the new company.
Receive Your Certificate of Incorporation
Companies House issues your Certificate of Incorporation — typically within 24 to 48 hours. GoFormed sends your full digital document pack: Certificate, Memorandum & Articles, share certificate, and registered office confirmation.
Set Up VAT, Banking & Compliance
GoFormed guides you through: VAT registration with HMRC (if applicable), EORI registration for import/export, opening a UK business bank account, and your first annual Confirmation Statement.
